This class covers installations of and provision of water to fire sprinkler systems within buildings so protected. The installation does not normally include a meter since the water use is strictly limited to fire protection.
However, if water is used through an automatic fire sprinkler service connection for any purpose other than the extinguishing of fires or a related purpose, the City shall have the right either to place a meter on the automatic fire sprinkler service connection at the customer's expense, and to charge at metered rates for all water used, or to shut off the entire supply of water to the premises through such service connection.
All automatic fire sprinkler service connections shall be equipped with a backflow prevention device pursuant to the provisions of Article 6 all at the expense of the customer.
